The best player I ever played with was Dennis Johnson.

A winner is someone who recognizes his God-given talents, works his tail off to develop them into skills, and uses these skills to accomplish his goals.

Push yourself again and again. Don't give an inch until the final buzzer sounds.

Don't let winning make you soft. Don't let losing make you quit. Don't let your teammates down in any situation.

I've got a theory that if you give 100% all of the time, somehow things will work out in the end.

I learned what my weaknesses were and I went out the next day to turn those weaknesses intro strengths.

My coach told me, "Larry, no matter how much you work at it, there's always someone out there who's working just a little harder - if you take 150 practice shots, he's taking 200." And that drove me.

I wasn't real quick, and I wasn't real strong. Some guys will just take off and it's like, whoa. So I beat them with my mind and my fundamentals.

There are many times when you are better off practicing than playing; but most people just don't understand that

I don't think that once you get to one level, you can relax. You've got to keep pushing.

You're all playin' for second place.

I like flaws. I think they make things interesting.

You don't kill your ego. You overcome it by loving other people. And for that you need both ego and super-ego.

If you can't be liked being kind, then be hated being cruel.

Now, settle down, settle down. Hell, I'm an old man, it's early in the morning and I'm gathering my thoughts here.

The whimsicalness of our own humor is a thousand times more fickle and unaccountable than what we blame so much in fortune.

Freedom to think requires not only freedom of expression but also freedom from the threat of orthodoxy and being outcast and ostracized.

We are all prisoner, but the name of our cure is not freedom

We who love Him beheld Him with these our eyes which He made to see; and we touched Him with these our hands which He taught to reach forth.

There’s a difference between thinking you deserve to be happy and knowing that you are worthy of being happy. Your being alive makes worthiness your birthright. You alone are enough.

Nothing is allowed in public, while everything is permitted behind closed doors.
